Hmmm Spike -- I think someday you and I and Eli and
Robin and a few other folks are going to have to sit
down and have a serious discussion about what makes
life good.  I am certain that new Mersenne's primes
do not keep the blue people entertained.  It also
seems unlikely that they would function well as a
reason for keeping The Blue Man Group entertaining us.

"good" would seem to be a very relative term.
